Genealogy had to be a large factor, although even the experts differ. Some of the studies I have read about identical twins seperated at birth and having the same life 50 years later would make one think we don't make decisions
But life experiences has to play a huge part in our thinking and more importantly how we view and appraise different things. Emotional intelligence is hugely linked to our experiences. There is a sea change in treatment of mental health issues for example, and now people are being employed because of their experiences, in this field, because of the increased possibility of compassion and empathy. I know some in Ireland who are employed as ''experts by experience'' and have received doctorates and lecture in various universities to professionals working in the field.
From what I have read on this IQ test can be learned, so to me its not really worth it and is not a true reflection of someone's intelligence. It does not imply wisdom or emotional intelligence.
I think it can work both ways Mary, i.e. both genders can do it. I think some people let someone in online to fill a void in themselves and are happy with that and don't want to let reality change it.
It works if you want it to work, have the resources and the wherewithal to move yourself and all that entails, e.g. family, career and friends.
Like any other online relationship I would advise you meet asap, because these things can drag on, and its easy to fall for what we want someone to be as opposed to who they are.
I do too. Details are sketchy and the question of live rounds being used will take some investigation I guess. I don't think there is a question of this being more than an accident, but the consequences should be factored in imo.
Mary Knowlton knew that the key to enjoying retirement in Punta Gorda, Fla., was to stay active, her friends say, and they had no idea how she kept so busy. When she signed up for a citizens academy held by the local police department, she and her husband were among 35 people hoping to learn more about law enforcement tactics.
During the training on Tuesday, which drew community leaders, business employees and even the chief of the Punta Gorda Police Department, Ms. Knowlton was selected to participate in a “shoot/don’t shoot” role-play exercise. But the session went terribly wrong.
Ms. Knowlton, 73, was accidentally shot and killed by a police officer, according to the authorities.
The police chief, Thomas P. Lewis, said at a news conference on Wednesday that Ms. Knowlton had been killed by an officer who fired a revolver that had been used before in the role-play exercise intended to teach people how to make decisions when confronted with lethal force.
The chief, who said he had been present at the time of the shooting, did not address why the officer, whom the department later identified as Officer Lee Coel, used live rounds in the training session.
